The RTF file contains OLE object data and an \objupdate directive, indicating it's designed to activate embedded objects. The document body contains a message in Spanish instructing the user to 'click the enable editing icon above if you cannot read the content of this document', which is a social engineering tactic to bypass security warnings and enable macros or other active content.
